Greece since 1945

the long version

"Greece since 1945 is the only history of Greece in English to be devoted to the period 1945-2000, and the first book to analyse the important developments since 1990. Taking an analytical as well as chronological approach, the book is accessible to readers with no previous knowledge of the subject." "Frequent comparisons are made with countries of western Europe (especially Italy, Portugal and Spain) and with other Balkan countries, in order to show how Greece converged with Western Europe and in what ways it remained unique or characteristically Balkan."--Jacket.
